Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka ett av oss framtaget undervisningsmaterial som grundligt bryter ner gitarrens tonala uppbyggnad och avkodar dess asymmetri. Materialet var framtaget med ambitionen att underlätta för elever att koppla sina musikaliska kunskaper till gitarrens greppbräda. I detta arbete ville vi undersöka om materialet har någon relevans i olika undervisningsformer saThe purpose of this study has been to examine an educational material created by us, the authors, which breaks down the guitar’s tonal construction and decodes its’ asymmetry. The material was created with the ambition to make it easier for students to connect their musical knowledges to the guitar’s fretboard. In this study, we wanted to examine if this material has any relevance in different edu

Den aktuella studien ämnade undersöka huruvida kvinnor i Sverige som varit i en intim våldsam partnerrelation (IPV) uppnådde posttraumatic growth (PTG) samt om uppnåendet och nivån av PTG skiljde sig mellan kvinnor som fått formell hjälp och kvinnor som inte fått formell hjälp. Studien undersökte även om det fanns en skillnad i nivå av PTG beroende på vilken typ av formell hjälp som kvinnorna fåttThe current study aimed to examine whether women in Sweden who had been in an intimate partner violence (IPV) relationship reached posttraumatic growth (PTG), and if the frequency and level of reaching PTG differed for women who had received formal help compared to women who had not received formal help. The study also examined whether there was a difference in level of PTG depending on which type

This paper will examine the forecast ability of different parametric and non-parametric estimation approaches used for Expected Shortfall (ES). As the financial institutions start to shift towards using ES as a risk measure instead of Value at Risk (VaR), the importance of being able to forecast ES increases. The Paper considers Basic Historical Simulation (BHS), Age-Weighted Historical Simulation

When we refer to the countryside, we associate it with the city. In the path of urbanization, the countryside developed in the direction of eventually becoming a city. In 2017, China began to implement the rural revitalization policy to avoid the erasure of the characteristics of the Chinese countryside. The rural revitalization policy involves many aspects, such as politics, economy, and culture,

This thesis examines the phenomena of personal branding. Empirically, it uses two different commercial podcasts made by influencers as comparative case study examples. To explore and contrast how these two cases use collaborative storytelling as a strategy to establish authenticity in the sponsored advertisement segments, empirical data was collected from the audio-material of the podcasts and fro

This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. A microscopic approach is used to represent people in the initial enclosure: here individual characteristics and behaviours are att

The aim of this study was to explore the professional experiences and views on psychoeducation with adult patients with ADHD. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with nine members of one interprofessional team in a psychiatric outpatient clinic in Region Skåne. The empirical data was analyzed through theoretical frameworks of empowerment and Antonovsky’s salutogenesis and sense o

Recent events such as the covid-19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian war have led to a tremendous increase in volatility, making financial markets riskier for investors. To see whether investors can counteract or profit from such risk, we develop a volatility timed trading strategy. To do so, a volatility forecast is used, in our case, the direction of the VIX. We predict the one week ahead movem

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine how underwriter reputation, VC-backing and offering size affected the fees paid to underwriters on Nasdaq First North during the time period 01-01-2021 to 31-12-2021. In doing so, the study aims to contribute to a more comprehensive theoretical understanding of the entire cost image associated with going public. Methodology The authors decided to us

The purpose of this thesis was to study the correspondence of occupant load factors determined by the guidance document of Finnish National Building code and the real occupant loads measured from shopping malls. The correspondence of occupant load factors determined according to Finnish National Building Code were compared with the occupant load factors determined in other national and internat

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to generate knowledge of employees' perspectives on how they understand and make sense of a change in the identity and culture within an organization and how they make sense of becoming brand ambassadors. Design/methodology/approach: The thesis was conducted through a qualitative approach where the empirical material consisted of semi-structured intervie

Enligt Sikström et al. (2020) tenderar maktbegreppet att syfta på publika snarare än privata domäner vilket har lett till den förhärskande idén att män har mer makt än kvinnor. För att bredda maktbegreppet utvecklade författarna måttet PWP (Preference Weighted Power), vilket väger hur mycket makt man har inom en domän mot hur viktig man tycker att den domän är. Uppsatsen var en uppföljningsstudie According to Sikström et al. (2020) the concept of power tends to be associated with public domains rather than private domains, which has led to the prevalent idea that men have more power than women. To broaden the notion of power the authors developed the term PWP (Preference Weighted Power) which weighs how much power one has in a domain with the importance of that domain. This bachelor thesis

Debt, bank credit and the determinants for bank lending are as up to date as ever with an increase in inflation and rising rates. Economic activity, financial costs and housing prices have been empirically established as important determinators when it comes to the indebtedness of the private sector. Less examined is the role of the rental market in the context. This study examines the effects on

In this master’s thesis I will investigate how librarians think about how their profession is affected by and relates to the democratic mission and various cultural policy decisions. I will also attempt to make more clear how librarians interpret, relate and deal with external forces of change such as technology, politics and other social forces. This has been done to investigate and survey the tw

Text analysis recently became a popular method to analyze the labor market in the field of research economics. This thesis uses an online Latent Dirichlet Allocation model to extract skills from two selected sectors of the Danish labor market between 2018 and 2021. The method uses topic modeling, where the keywords in the resulting topics are associated with skills, tasks or occupations. The resul

E-health services are critical for improving the quality of life and accessibility of healthcare. There have been multiple developments within e-health services, but the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant increase in the use of these services, which led to faster diffusion of e-health services. A qualitative study was conducted to examine how the Swedish public healthcare syste

This study scrutinizes the underlying factors of honor-related violence (HRV) and examines how women break away from honor-related violence. Four autobiographical stories written by vulnerable women who have been victims to honor-related violence have been analyzed. A qualitative narrative method has been used as an analysis method. The results of this study shows that factors such as honornorms,

This paper investigates the performance of benchmark indices and according ETFs against the synthetic portfolios that were built using the five major holdings of the selected benchmark index and its ETF. Not only do we test the synthetic portfolios, but from them, we make optimal (re-balanced) portfolios using mean-variance optimization (with short-selling constraints). We test and examine the ret
